Chapter 385 – Chapter 385 Hero Academy (4-26)
Evryka Headquarters suddenly became a dungeon due to the rooted core.
The incident, which was plastered all day with articles titled Building Causing Disaster, ended in one day.
At the same time as the core was destroyed, the dungeonization stopped expanding and began to automatically restore to its original state.
The flesh attached to the walls gradually evaporated and disappeared, and the vast interior gradually began to shrink and return to its original size.
Internal communications quickly returned to normal, and the rescue of ordinary people was quick.
Destroy core, rescue civilians.
If these two things were done, the final procedure was simple.
The beings involved in the procedure murmured as they descended into the perforated sewers.
“Fuck… It’s ruined.”
“I can’t believe this will happen in one day….”
I predicted it would last more than a few days… No, events such as national disasters that were thought to last for months rather than weeks were over in just half a day.
The assailants remained silent as they made their way through the dark sewer while wearing cloaks.
Rather than achieving success, they were worried about the future that would come to them due to complete failure.
In the uncomfortable silence, someone started muttering as if talking to himself.
“… Will it bounce like this?”
When one person gave an opinion, the rest of the fellows who seemed to be colleagues stopped and started to notice.
But one of them shook his head and said.
“Even if it jumps out, is there anything else besides Pandemonium? Rather, you can become a fugitive for the rest of your life. And at least you have an excuse.”
“But… Who would have thought that the head of the tower would appear?”
A pretty little boy who suddenly appeared.
The kid completely messed up their plans.
The only thing they hoped for was the fact that the core was in the other building, and Yeriel was able to deal with it somehow with guerrilla warfare as he was trying to save lives.
But even then it failed.
“What the hell did those bastards across the street do? I can’t even protect my core, and I’m out of contact….”
“Are they all dead?”
“… I don’t know about the other guys, but I don’t think that crazy bitch is dead.”
Moon Joo… She caused a lot of trouble, but she was a woman who was recognized for her skills and achievements.
But in the end, her colleagues also shook their heads at her, recalling her fatal flaw.
“If the building on the core side had a person as strong as the head of the tower, they would have been the first to search for it, right? She has a habit of ruining her plans if there is someone stronger than her.”
“But… He, if you press the seizure button, there is no answer.”
Moon Joo… She was such an unanswered woman that even in the back world she would bow her head.
“I’d rather be dead. She’ll forgive you from upstairs if you blame her.”
“Ha… Damn, it was my lifelong wish to eat her.”
“I have all the stupid wishes…. Munjua, that bitch must have put a cutter or poison in her pussy?”
“Quack… Well, I guess so.”
The language began to be so filthy that you wouldn’t think it was directed at her dead colleague.
But this was their way.
In a situation like this, the ones who can be relieved by continuing to laugh like this….
However, they probably didn’t know that the laughter they had now was the last joy they could taste in this world.
A girl’s voice bounced off the cave and hit their eardrums along with a silhouette beyond the cave they were moving through.
“Really according to the information….”
“What!?”
“Who are you!”
The perplexed assailants raised their weapons at the black silhouette and began to stand on alert.
And the existence of the silhouette that came out of the darkness continued to talk to itself while revealing itself.
“Today, thanks to you, my mood is very down.”
“Get on… Head of the Tower!? Uh, how did you get here….”
Irrespective of the trembling bodies of the assailants, Yeriel looked at them with an expressionless expression and said,
“I haven’t even met my best friends, but because of you, I only made my close kids do hard things.”
“How did you know this place!!”
One of the assailants interrupted her and charged her.
The speed was slower than Cho Seo-hyeon or Moon Ju-ah, but the huge mace in her hand was enough to intimidate the opponent.
But that also depended on the opponent.
Her arm holding her mace suddenly stopped and threw away as if caught by something in empty midair.
“Fuck! Let go! Let go!!”
And the subsequent change in the shape of the arm.
Quad de de de deuk!!
“Kyaaaaa!! Aaaaa!!!”
The assailant’s body remained intact, but the arm holding the mace began to crumble as if compressed by a press.
Blood gushed out of the flesh that could not be called an arm, and began to wet the floor.
The assailant, whose arm was completely broken, collapsed on the spot in a stunned state, and all the other assailants started to retreat and prepare to escape.
But their vain hopes were shattered with the voice of Yeriel.
“Today… You guys have to relieve the feeling of being ruined.”
The incident was all over as screams that sounded like hell filled the basement.
..
..
The escape route of the assailants who came in as a report was true.
Everything is over.
Destroyed the core to prevent the dungeon, rescued ordinary people, and dealt with all the gangsters.
Although the inside of the headquarters building of Evrica was in a mess, the outside of the building was brightly lit, letting people know that it was still in good shape.
Yeriel spoke to the tower’s reinforcements as the sun disappeared, instead scanning the surroundings illuminated by the lights of Ebrica’s headquarters.
“The captives must be restrained so that they cannot escape as much as possible. Did you catch the rest?”
“It didn’t show up on any other escape routes. They probably got wiped out and couldn’t use the escape route.”
“Um….”
Yeriel nodded at her and smiled.
‘You did a good job asking the two of them. By the way….’
Apart from the feeling of relief, Yeriel’s guilt slowly began to seep into her body.
‘It looks like you came out to play today after a lot of preparation, but because of me….’
There were no bad intentions.
The reason why Yeri El dug in between Sung Soo-ho and Seong Soo-ah wasn’t just for her own pleasure.
The relationship between the two….
‘It’s clear. The two instructors Sua and Seong Suho….
He tried to provide a space for the two of them to have a tryst after dealing with each other moderately.
Seongsu Ah, Yeriel had known her since she was a student.
At first, she approached and befriended Seong Soo-ah just to scout her tower talent, but her innate goodwill seeped into Yeriel as well.
Sung Soo-ah’s favor is like her lubricant that easily seeps into her, and she used to shake her heart by making even Yeriel’s heart beat that had been rusting for a long time.
But she started to change.
It was a short time for her to Yeriel, but Seong Soo-ah changed in an instant during that short time.
And the cause of this, Yeriel, was largely aware of.
‘Obviously Cho Kang-hyun… It’s because of him.’
Seong Soo-ah’s fiancé, and the top-notch hero that the Tower and all guilds are watching.
He is so strong that even the tower’s leader, Yeriel, cannot accurately determine the end of his skills.
A feeling of incomprehensible depth.
However, there was a decisive event that could measure his personality.
Like other heroes, Seong Soo-ah has been in danger several times.
Of course, since the search party she included belonged to the tower, she was able to finish her mission without much trouble in the end.
However….
(…Brother.)
(….)
I had never seen a single call from her fiancé who conveyed her regards to her.
Yeriel, who felt sorry for Sung Soo-ah, began to see her changed.
Not just a superficial smile, but a real smile.
He’s not just superficially friendly, he’s genuinely affectionate.
Not just superficially worried, but a real family member.
She was facing a man.
‘… It’s clear.’
As Yeriel was so sure of her connection to Seongsu-ah and Seongsu-ho, she began to ask the tower’s support troops about her whereabouts.
“Have you seen Instructor Sung Soo-ah?”
Originally, she should have asked the whereabouts of the Seongsu, but Yeriel didn’t.
‘They’ll be together anyway… Instructor Seong Su-ho, let’s not connect as much as possible.’
Yeriel was already finalizing the relationship between the two.
In such a situation, she decided that she had to be careful with her mouth to prevent even the slightest misunderstanding from happening, and she only asked where Seong Soo-ah was.
He explained briefly and in detail to Yeriel.
“You went straight to the consulate as if you had something urgent to do.”
“Hmm… Okay. Okay. Please try to organize your surroundings again.”
“All right.”
Yeriel nodded her head and activated her smartwatch to start contacting her.
After a while, the beep stopped and a human voice began to be heard.
(Yeriel?)
“Sua, what happened and did you leave in a hurry?”
(That, that….)
It wasn’t a question I wanted an answer to. It was a question of convenience.
If there were people who made the biggest contribution to today’s incident, it was definitely Seong Su-ho and Seong Su-ah.
It was a story that if they stayed here, they would inevitably receive everyone’s attention.
“Sua. Are you with me now?”
(Yes? Ah… No. I am alone now.)
‘Isn’t it embarrassing to say? Great….’
Yeriel cut off Seongsuah’s hesitant answer and gave her advice in a soft voice.
“When I was young, I never doubted that the people around me would always stand by me.”
Yeriel explained what happened in her past in a succinct, concise, and elimination manner, thoroughly explaining only the necessary parts.
“The moment my acquaintances, friends, and even my family left, I missed the timing to hold on to them. And they all left.”
(….)
“In the end, the only thing left by my side was regret.”
(Yeriel-sama….)
“I’ll call you back tomorrow when the situation is sorted out. Thank you so much for today. Rest then.”
Yeriel decided that Seongsuah must have understood what he was saying, and hung up the phone after finishing him.
Yeriel smiled bitterly as she looked at the disconnected phone call.
“… Don’t be like me.”
While talking to myself like that, I started moving busily to organize my surroundings again.
***
“Timing….”
Seong Soo-ah, who had just arrived at the consulate, started thinking about her after talking to Yeri-el.
Seongsuah took a slow step while thinking over what she heard from Yeriel.
‘I’m dizzy….’
Too many events happened simultaneously.
Birthdays, dates, Yeriel, dungeons, monsters, monsters….
However, there was definitely one thing that disturbed Sung Soo-ah’s head.
-Now… It’s in the 7th class of the magic school.-
It was a text from Sung Soo-ho.
‘I… If I handled it well….’
Suddenly, Sung Soo-ho ran up to him and kissed him.
In such a sudden situation, Seong Soo-ah’s brain stopped, and she received all of Seong Su-ho’s kisses.
Denial?
Those words didn’t exist in Seong Soo-ah’s head.
There were corpses all around, and the walls smelled like slime.
Still, a tingling white firecracker exploded in Sung Soo-ah’s head, congratulating her on her kiss.
However, Sung Soo-ho’s act did not end with her kiss.
Haha..Haha… Instructor Seong Soo-ah….)
Seong Soo-ho’s act of removing her lips was not something you would do with a colleague who has a crush on you.
Seong Soo-ho started groping her Seong-su-a’s whole body.
Seong Soo-ah regained her reason at that moment, and she was able to understand why Seong Soo-ho was behaving like this.
(Instructor Seong Su-ho. Calm down. I will treat you!)
Seong Soo-ah didn’t feel bad about Seong Su-ho’s touch or rejected it.
It was only because she wished he hadn’t made a mistake that she turned her head rather coolly.
However, that changed due to Seong Soo-ah’s mistake.
(That… Uh… Sin, sorry!)
(Wait a minute! Instructor Sung Soo-ho!)
Seong Su-ho ran away as if feeling guilty for what he had done, and Seong Soo-ah was embarrassed and missed him.
Seong Soo-ah started to send messages to Seong Soo-ho with the feeling of falling into hell like crazy.
She texted and phoned frantically, knowing what a blood-drying hell it was.
And it wasn’t until an hour later that she texted him back.
-Now… It’s in the 7th class of the magic school.-
Seong Soo-ah went to the 7th class of the magi department while watching Seong Soo-ho’s text messages endlessly.
I couldn’t quite figure out what he was thinking.
However, Sung Soo-ah was a human.
He was able to forcibly fit and reconstruct the thoughts of others he had no way to know into his own pieces.
A messy puzzle that is forced to fit even if you don’t want to.
The pieces of her puzzle that didn’t fit together began to fill her mind with her own sins.
‘Me too… If I hadn’t recovered from the status ailment….’
Seong Soo-ah was aware of the abnormal condition that Seong Su-ho was suffering from.
Because just a few hours ago she was hanging herself too.
This was the bad luck.
Slip.
If they had lost their cool at the same time and accepted his guilt-laden hand, both would have offset the guilt and comforted each other.
However, due to the discrepancy, the coldness of the other side was rather angry.
The guilt Su-ah Seong felt was her own act of shifting the blame to Seong Su-ho.
‘I need to go quickly and comfort you. He must have been hurt a lot.’
Seong Soo-ah made that promise and headed to the 7th class.
Seong Soo-ah felt like she was stepping into the place she had visited for the first time, even as she walked the road she walked to work every day.
The objects around her, which always welcomed her with her bright light, were engulfed in her darkness and looked at her like a sinner.
Seong Soo-ah could feel the feelings of a criminal being led to the execution site with every step she took in the dark hallway.
She is a death row inmate who longs to live as soon as possible, hoping to finish everything soon.
My earnest wish to meet and comfort Seong Soo-ho as soon as possible, and my earnest wish not to arrive at the 7th class.
Seong Soo-ah took her heavy steps and barely arrived in front of Ma and Class 7.
The door of the 7th class of the magi department, which she had seen every day, felt like the last door containing the death penalty in Seong Soo-ah’s eyes.
‘… He must be inside, right?’
Seong Soo-ah, who held her doorknob, sighed heavily, then turned the doorknob and made a promise.
‘I was all wrong. I have to put it all on my own responsibility. Somehow, Instructor Seong Soo-ho’s heart….’
With such a promise, Seong Soo-ah opened the door and entered, and all her resolve collapsed at the words of Seong Su-ho.
“Tomorrow… I am thinking of resigning.”
